Michael Jackson Biopic First Reactions Are In

Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, starring Jaafar Jackson as the legendary singer, has faced some challenges before its April 24th release. Concerns have been raised about whether the film will fully address the serious accusations of child sexual abuse made against Jackson. Despite this, industry experts predict the movie could earn around $60 million domestically during its opening weekend, making it the second-highest opening ever for a music biopic, just behind Straight Outta Compton ($60.2 million).

Star Wars’ Next Movie Is Going to Break a Disappointing Record for Disney After 11 Years (But There’s Some Hope)

Box Office Theory has made an early prediction for the opening weekend of The Mandalorian and Grogu. They forecast around $71 million in ticket sales, which would be the lowest opening for any Star Wars film released by Disney – even less than the $84.4 million earned by Solo: A Star Wars Story, a film considered a box office failure. While they believe Pedro Pascal and Grogu will attract audiences, and the use of practical effects is a plus, they point out that movies and franchises that started on streaming services haven’t always performed well in theaters, as seen with some Marvel and Pixar films.

But when they delve into his backstory, and you understand the tragedy he’s been through, it starts to make sense why he became this extreme, brutal figure. It explains how someone like him could even fight alongside heroes who try to do things the right way, like Daredevil.
